The Tonearm Touts Afterimage’s Legacy

The Tonearm notes that “The Los Angeles Times once dubbed Afterimage ‘LA”s Joy Division,’ and listening to tracks like ‘Satellite of Love,’ it does make some sense. The bands share a hypnotic, chilly exterior and a fiery core. But Afterimage was no mere copycat – they brought their own West Coast flavor to the post-punk template.” The site says that Faces To Hide, Independent Project Records‘ new compilation chronicling the history of the mythical outfit, is “a document of an often-overlooked corner of the Los Angeles underground scene. It’s a reminder that there were bands crafting dark, urgent, and experimental sounds that could rival anything coming out of Manchester or New York.”
